I swear by the Day of Resurrection
لَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِۙ

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
وَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِۗ

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
اَيَحْسَبُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَلَّنْ نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهٗۗ

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
بَلٰى قٰدِرِيْنَ عَلٰٓى اَنْ نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهٗ

But man desires to continue in sin.
بَلْ يُرِيْدُ الْاِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ اَمَامَهٗۚ

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
يَسْـَٔـلُ اَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيٰمَةِۗ

So when vision is dazzled
فَاِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُۙ

And the moon darkens
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُۙ

And the sun and the moon are joined,
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُۙ

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"
يَقُوْلُ الْاِنْسَانُ يَوْمَٮِٕذٍ اَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ ۚ

No! There is no refuge.
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَۗ

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَٮِٕذِ ِلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ۗ

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.
يُنَبَّؤُا الْاِنْسَانُ يَوْمَٮِٕذٍۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَاَخَّرَۗ

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,
بَلِ الْاِنْسَانُ عَلٰى نَفْسِهٖ بَصِيْرَةٌ ۙ

Even if he presents his excuses.
وَّلَوْ اَلْقٰى مَعَاذِيْرَهٗۗ

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهٖ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهٖۗ

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.
اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهٗ وَقُرْاٰنَهٗۚ

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.
فَاِذَا قَرَأْنٰهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْاٰنَهٗۚ

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهٗۗ

No! But you love the immediate
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّوْنَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ۙ

And leave the Hereafter.
وَتَذَرُوْنَ الْاٰخِرَةَ ۗ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,
وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَٮِٕذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۙ

Looking at their Lord.
اِلٰى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ۚ

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,
وَوُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَٮِٕذٍۢ بَاسِرَةٌ ۙ

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.
تَظُنُّ اَنْ يُّفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ۗ

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
كَلَّاۤ اِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِىَۙ

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"
وَقِيْلَ مَنْ ٚ  رَاقٍۙ

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation
وَّظَنَّ اَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُۙ

And the leg is wound about the leg,
وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِۙ

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَٮِٕذِ ِلْمَسَاقُۗ

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلّٰىۙ

But [instead], he denied and turned away.
وَلٰكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰىۙ

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهٖ يَتَمَطّٰىۗ

Woe to you, and woe!
اَوْلٰى لَكَ فَاَوْلٰىۙ

Then woe to you, and woe!
ثُمَّ اَوْلٰى لَكَ فَاَوْلٰىۗ

Does man think that he will be left neglected?
اَيَحْسَبُ الْاِنْسَانُ اَنْ يُّتْرَكَ سُدًىۗ

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?
اَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّنْ مَّنِىٍّ يُّمْنٰىۙ

Then he was a clinging clot, and [ Allah ] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوّٰىۙ

And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُنْثٰىۗ

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
اَلَيْسَ ذٰلِكَ بِقٰدِرٍ عَلٰٓى اَنْ يُّحْـىِيَ الْمَوْتٰى
